Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) isn’t fazed by Congress’ failure to move forward with the impeachment of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
From her perspective, Democrats have almost too many people to investigate once they gain control of Congress in January.
“There are so many criminals in this administration, it’s hard to figure out who should be, you know, the order of operations,” Ocasio-Cortez said in an interview with CNN’s Manu Raju on Tuesday.
“There are going to be many, many, many investigations,” she added. “I imagine many subpoenas, and we have to follow wherever the evidence takes us.”
Nonetheless, Ocasio-Cortez seemed upset that 11 House Democrats missed a vote on Tuesday to move Hegseth’s impeachment proceedings forward.
“The people send us here to do a job,” she told Raju. “I don’t know if anyone had any real health issues or anything significant to that respect, so I want to leave room for that. But that being said, at the end of the day, we’re here to do a job. And the same way I had to clock in when I worked at a restaurant, we got to clock in and do our work here.”
“I say shame on them for not showing up. I mean, this is important. They had an opportunity to finally get rid of this buffoonery that we have, and they failed. So you know what? I think the 120th Congress, I think we’ll take that up,” Ojeda told Laura Coates on CNN Tuesday night.
The 11 House Democrats who missed the vote were Reps. Julia Brownley (Calif.), Lou Correa (Calif.), Laura Gillen (N.Y.), Steven Horsford (Nev.), Jonathan Jackson (Ill.), Nancy Pelosi (Calif.), Brittany Pettersen (Colo.), Melanie Stansbury (N.M.), Haley Stevens (Mich.), Marilyn Strickland (Wash.) and Frederica Wilson (Fla.).
